With 19 seconds remaining, the Hornets had a four-point lead until Pat Connaughton hit a 3-pointer and then drove the lane and scored after Ball missed, putting Milwaukee ahead by one. On the next play, Ball retaliated by driving the right side of the lane and drawing a foul on Antetokounmpo. With 7.3 seconds remaining for the final margin, he hit both of his free throws.
